Enough vaccines for typhoid and cholera

Star: SEGAMAT: There are enough vaccines for typhoid and cholera in Johor, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
He said typhoid jabs would only be given to food handlers at flood relief centres while cholera vaccinations were not normally given.
Dr Chua said that he had received a lot of complaints of “rescue” personnel demanding money for their services.
“We received complaints from the public and even local councillors that such personnel wanted as much as RM200 from flood victims.
“However, the complainants could not identify whether the culprits are from the fire and rescue department, the army or volunteers as all of them were wearing rain coats,” he said.
Dr Chua said some 600 personnel from the ministry, divided into 151 teams, were on standing by at various relief centres in the state to treat those with illness.
